I. EVOLUTION AND INVOLUTION AS A BIOLOGICALLY PROGRAMMED PROCESS

The fact that evolution is a programmed process is confirmed by the very structure of the molecule of DNA, that is not only endowed with the ability to mutate, but also programmed for such mutations — programmed for internal changes that occur under the influence of changes in conditions of existence of a living organism (both external and internal), i.e. it is programmed for adaptation to changes in the conditions.

Disclaimer: this article represents the author’s preliminary conclusions, and thus cannot be used as a type detection methodology.

The author's conclusions are based mostly on E. Filatova's series of type portraits.

Introduction

Testing in the absence of questionnaires means that the typer needs to be able to "visually" detect four binary dimensions of the individual being typed: extroversion/introversion, intuition/sensation, logic/ethics, and rationality/irrationality. This

Attempts have been made to describe the socionic types in terms of temperament. The most well-known temperament system places sixteen types into 4 groups that share the same two sides of Extroversion/Introversion and Rational/Irrational dichotomies:
